What is the main difference between body waves and surface waves?
Surface waves travel slower than body waves.
Why can you not hear the echo if you stand 20 meter away and shout towards it?
You are too close to the surface from which the sound waves are reflected. As a result you brain cannot distinguish between the original sound waves and the reflexted sound waves (the echo).
What type of materials will reflect radio waves?
Radio waves will be reflected by any surface where the electromagnetic properties of the space change. e.g. moving from free space into solid material.
What happenens if waves strike a reflective surface at an angle other than 90 degrees?
When waves strike a reflective surface at an angle other than 90 degrees, they undergo reflection according to the law of reflection, which states that the angle of incidence is equal to the angle of reflection. This means that the incoming wave will bounce off the surface at the same angle relative to the normal (a line perpendicular to the surface). The direction of the wave changes, but the wave's speed and frequency remain constant. This phenomenon is observed in various contexts, such as light reflecting off mirrors or sound waves bouncing off walls.
Why do L- wave form a straight line?
L-waves, or Love waves, form a straight line due to their nature of being surface waves that travel along the Earth's crust. They are characterized by horizontal shear motion, which causes particles to move side-to-side in a horizontal plane, resulting in a linear propagation of energy along the surface. This straight-line movement is influenced by the wave's interaction with the Earth's layered structure, allowing it to maintain a consistent path.
Waves that travel at the surface such as Raleigh and long waves?
Raleigh waves are surface waves that occur in many types of media, such as water and the Earth's crust. They cause the ground to roll up and down in a wave-like motion during an earthquake. Long waves, or long-period ocean waves, are also surface waves that have longer wavelengths and occur in the ocean due to forces such as gravity and wind.
What 2 waves are surface waves?
Love waves and Rayleigh waves are surface waves
How many types or surface waves are there?
i think 2?
What general name is given to waves that travel along the surface of a material such as Rayleigh and Love waves?
Surface waves
What are the two types of seismic surface waves?
body waves and surface waves
Do p waves or surface waves move faster?
No. Surface waves are slower than both P and S-waves.
What are an example of surface wave?
Examples of surface waves include water waves on the ocean's surface, seismic surface waves that travel along the earth's surface during an earthquake, and electromagnetic waves that propagate along the boundaries between different materials.
What are the three seismic waves in order?
The three types of seismic waves are: P waves S waves Surface waves ( two surface waves. Riley surface wave and love surface wave named after scientists
Where do surface waves occur?
Surface waves occur at the boundary between two different mediums, such as air and water, or air and land. They travel along the interface, transferring energy in the form of ripples or undulations on the surface. Examples of surface waves include ocean waves, seismic waves, and electromagnetic waves.
What kind of waves can travel through earth and along earths surface?
Seismic waves are the types of waves that can travel through the Earth and along its surface. There are two main types of seismic waves: body waves (such as primary and secondary waves) that travel through the Earth's interior, and surface waves (such as Love and Rayleigh waves) that travel along the Earth's surface.
Where do waves occurs?
surface waves occur on the surface its visible to people and people can surface
What does surface waves travel through?
surface waves can only travel along the surface.
